Repost from SC2Mapster



I made it by duplicating all the assets for the destructible rock, and then modifying the art assets and footprint to match that of the Mar Sara Bridge doodad. (The footprint is what makes it function as a bridge - Specifically the Persistent Pathing Layer)

Units can walk across it, and attack it. When it's destroyed, they hang in the air unit they're moved, and then they fall to whatever is immediately below them.

Current problems - There is obviously no death animation, the model can only be targeted on the sides, and I haven't figured out how to make units that can be raised/lowered in the editor yet, so I can't have it actually cross gaps yet.

Other things the PPL footprinting can be used for, if I understand it correctly -

* Having units mounted on other units, with each individually controllable.
* Making units function as ramps, so you could make, for instance, a siege tower.
* Tunnels (Will be much more complex)
* Custom cliff levels, and fully walkable structures. (Obviously more complex, need custom models and so forth.)

Well the cross gaps problem can be solved by putting a smaller strip of land under the bridge so that one can't see it but think they're crossing the bridge.

I think this will have a TON of applications ... I'm surprised destroyable bridges have not crossed blizzards' minds before...

I'm also pretty sure there's a way to kill units that are on top of the bridge once the bridge dies.. via triggers.

It's not a problem, it can cross gaps without terrain. I just have to figure out how to change the z-level of units to position them better.

Yes, I but I don't care to kill them. They fall into the chasm below.
